Love thy neighbor, then yourself

There are so many self-help books today telling us to fix ourselves first before helping others. This seems logical. Unless you are capable and prepared, you will be less effective helping others such as our families, communities and organizations. When diving deeper, my research is telling me something different. I believe that when we truly have a passion to contribute, this “love” spans across everything else. When we love something, such as our career, we work very hard to become better so that we can contribute more. We become more dedicated on improving our talents when we realize that we can provide valuable input and assist in our tribe’s success. Everyone can find something that they can contribute. I guarantee it.
